I dont feel any rivalry as such... in fact I don't think I've ever really seen getcrafty mentioned over there... maybe most of the people in there are new and never really knew about it in the first place?
From what I've seen, it's more the other way - "Glitter" or "Supernaturale" sort of being taboo words over here (for some people, far from all - so I hope no one feels attacked!). I occasionally feel that I'm not a 'real' member of these boards because I post at both places, and because I haven't got 700+ posts here like I do on Supernaturale. Which is totally stupid, but it makes me reluctant to post from time to time, because I don't want to step in where I don't belong. But I'm trying to get over that.
Yeah, I think a big part of the Supernaturale crowd signed up after the split, so they don't really know about these boards. Actually, I didn't even know about them until three months after the split, because I thought everyone had moved to "new Glitter"! But it makes me happy that some of the oldbies that I thought were gone are posting here.
I like that there are differences between the boards; if I want to post something (especially something fluffy) and get a lot of replies and/or a quick reply, I'd probably post on Supernaturale, but if I wanted to post something of a more serious/philosophical nature and wanted a deeper discussion, I'd post here (not that it's not possible to have a deep discussion at Supernaturale, but threads tend to be buried quickly there, and are purged after a while anyway). These boards are also great for a little less "hip" crafts - I posted about weaving on Supernaturale and didn't get any replies, but when I later posted a weaving thread here, I got a lot of replies. I love how there are so many people doing "old school" crafts here and that they all seem to know so much about their craft(s)!
